Hi, I've used this site for a while and have read some amazing success stories from people, this site really has helped more than anything. I thought I'd show a pic of the change I've made. Was 121kg now 76kg. I also have a question to ask, is it loose skin I now have or still some fat to loose.

    Looks like a combination of both. Stretch marks are an indication of overstretched skin usually due to weight gain (whether intentional or not) and loose skin will be a result from weight loss.

    Well done on losing so much. You seem to have a bit to go yet.

    Loose skin can take up to two years to improve.

    Use cocoa butter sticks and massage yourself daily with it. Shea butter should also help reduce the visibility of the stretch marks.
    Cocoa butter to help the skin heal, shea butter to reduce visibility.

    Great job, by the way.
